Byron Buxton day-to-day with hip impingement

Marte performed poorly in his two-and-a-half month stint back in the big leagues with a .189/.229/.321 slash line through 201 plate appearances. What started out as a near full-time role drifting into a part-time one over the last few weeks as Marte ceded playing time to the newly promoted Hector Rodríguez. In a corresponding move, the Reds promoted Will Banfield to be the third catcher on their roster. Marte’s stock has fallen dramatically over the last few years and he shouldn’t be considered much more than organizational depth at this point. He could really use a change of scenery.

This is a procedural move after McCambley served as the 27th man on Monday during a double-header against the Cardinals. He tossed a scoreless inning with two strikeouts in his appearance and will likely be part of the Reds’ bullpen shuffle for the rest of the season.

Hagenman fractured a rib during spring training and hasn’t appeared in a game at any level yet this season. He had a 4.65 ERA, 23 strikeouts, and just two walks across 23 2/3 innings in a swing-man role with the Mets last season,

Warren has been out since early July with a right forearm strain. After a strong run early in the season out of their bullpen, he let up nine earned runs in his final two appearances before succumbing to the IL. Before then, he had a 2.45 ERA across 33 innings and could be a candidate to pick up holds within the Mets’ chaotic bullpen.

The Mets acquired McDermott from the Dodgers at the trade deadline for catcher Ben Rortvedt and he’s flashed some stuff in 3 1/3 innings of work split between two outings. Yet, his command was poor as it’s been his whole career evidenced by a 7.9 BB/9 across 18 1/3 big league innings.

The hope was that Uribe would only need a minimum stay on the injured list after going out with a mild flexor strain last week. Throwing a bullpen only a few days later is a great sign that one of the league’s best setup men will be back soon.

This is great news and fits Pratt’s initial timeline to return in August after suffering a mild hamstring strain just under two weeks ago. He was heating up before going out with a .305 batting average and five stolen bases over his last 30 games. Also, funny enough, he’ll begin this rehab assignment on his 22nd birthday.

The Ketel Marte saga continues. First it was a disappearance, then a personal issue, and now a potential knee injury. Rather than us getting any answers, this story is only become more muddled as no clear indication has been given as to why Marte didn’t show up to the park for Tuesday’s game and when or if he will be back. Hopefully we get a more definitive update soon, but nothing seems imminent right now.

This move was to make room for AJ Smith-Shawver on the active roster, but they didn’t need to clear a spot on their 40-man for such. Kinley has a palatable 4.01 ERA and fastball that can still sit near 95 mph, despite trending in the wrong direction over the last few years. It’s plausible that another team would pick the 35-year-old righty up off waivers.

Now it’s official. Smith-Shawver will come back up to start for the Braves on Wednesday after he was removed from Triple-A Gwinnett’s probable pitchers earlier today. He’s a splitter-heavy righty with above average velocity who could find success. In his season debut against the Mets, his fastball jumped up two ticks to 97 mph and that velocity held during his two starts back in Triple-A. He’s also mixed in a new sinker against right-handed batters. By slotting in the rotation on Wednesday, he’ll give Chris Sale an extra day of rest.
